Amazing what that does. My wife's Asus R1F was giving occational "throtled CPU due to overtemperature" and I took the cpu fan out and removed the dust from the heatsink using a q-tip, and the cpu temperature dropped 16C and the fan is much quieter now. I will have to remember to do that more often. -- Len Sorensen
